The professional portion of the curriculum leading to a Pharm.D. degree will be completed at an accredited institution which will grant the degree or certificate. Each applicant to pharmacy school is required to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), which is designed to measure general academic ability and scientific knowledge of pre-requisite courses. Many schools also require observation of a practicing pharmacist. Students will apply through a special website, PharmCAS (Pharmacy College Application Service), one year before they desire admission.

Interested students should maintain close contact with the Division’s Pre Health Professions advisors or the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
